Chapter 210
Xu Heming frowned as he looked at the letter in his hand, then at the unfamiliar guard.
He had never seen this person before.
This letter doesn't seem to have been prepared by Steward Liu.
"Who sent you to deliver this letter?" Xu Heming looked at the person who came with suspicion.
He wondered if someone was plotting against him.
Otherwise, why would they send him a letter saying that the old princess had an accident?
When he left the capital, he left his mother with enough people to protect her.
There are still Granny Luo and Doctor Zhang in the mansion, so there's no way my mother could get into trouble.
But this person's attire was indeed that of a prince.
Xu Heming couldn't help but worry about the safety of the old princess.
Qingsong was also a little surprised when he saw the guard; he had never seen this person before.
"How is the old princess doing now? Did Steward Liu send you?" Qingsong asked, feigning concern.
"Yes, it was Steward Liu who sent this message. The old princess is not doing well, and Your Highness is requested to return to the capital as soon as possible." The guard, who was unsure how to respond at first, quickly replied with Qingsong's guidance.
He thought to himself, "Luckily I'm smart, otherwise I would have been exposed."
However, he had no idea whether the old princess was good or bad. He was not a guard of the royal palace; he was a member of the Lan Huai royal family.
He was just an errand boy for Zheng Qiaoshu.
However, he did not expect that his mere act of delivering a message would arouse the suspicion of Prince An.
As soon as the guard finished speaking, Xu Heming and Qingsong saw suspicion in each other's eyes.
This person could not possibly have been sent by Steward Liu.
But who sent this letter?
"This letter was sent by Steward Liu and Miss Biao," the guard quickly added, seeing that Xu Heming didn't seem to believe him.
Miss Cousin?
Xu Heming: Zheng Qiaoshu?
Qingsong frowned, thinking, "This letter was probably sent by Miss Biao."
Otherwise, the reason why Steward Liu didn't affix his private seal is because the old princess is actually fine?
"We already know about this. Thank you for your trouble. Go back to the inn and rest for a while. We'll prepare to return to the capital," Qingsong said to the guard with a smile.
The guard was puzzled as to why he wanted to stay at an inn.
He can't stay at the Li family's house?
How could Xu Heming possibly trust this person of unknown identity, let alone take him to the Li family?
He would regret it deeply if he were to attack Li Zhiwei and the others.
"Someone, take this young man to the inn to rest." Qingsong gave the order, and someone led the guard away.
As he left, Qingsong gestured to the others, telling them to keep an eye on this person.
Now, they suspect that there is something wrong with this person.
"Your Highness, do you think this man's words are credible?" After everyone left, Qingsong cautiously asked Xu Heming.
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Xu Heming frowned and strode towards the Li family's house.
Upon arriving at their residence, Xu Heming's furrowed brows remained unchanged.
"Send a message to the capital by carrier pigeon to ask what's going on there, and how the old princess is doing now."
